<P>Yeah, really a bummer. The other question would be as there is no app planned directly from Canon's side, would there be any support for a third-party app? I would love to develop an app for that, however without knowing any interfaces nor API, it does not seem to be possible for now...</P>Sat, 23 Feb 2013 13:30:31 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/15263#M205choppa2013-02-23T13:30:31ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/16415#M219
<P>I hope to see this soon. Note to the poster from Canon and anyone else reading this that Windows Mobile is not the same as Windows Phone.

<P>Well, add me to the list of WP8 (Lumia 920) users who would like the Canon EOS Remote ported to my choice of mobile operating system. This can't exactly be a Herculean feat for Canon's software team, but I do understand their possible skepticism about the size of the market. Yes, we're not a very big crowd, but we're groowing in number.&nbsp;Plus, we're&nbsp;good customers and not as well served by other apps connected to other companies' camera systems; we'd likely go to, or stick with, Canon if they&nbsp;threw us WP8 people a crumb with EOS Remote.&nbsp;Think about it.</P>Tue, 02 Jul 2013 20:35:23 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/32393#M449dafrank2013-07-02T20:35:23ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/33827#M476

I have two Canon XF105's and was jussssst about to pull the trigger on a 70D to add the gap you get from just using video cameras. I couldn't believe it when I noticed that the EOS app didn't exist for my Nokia 920. Good thing I have zero dollars invested in lenses so I won't be trapped with a DSLR purchase to "protect" my investment. Heck, even GoPro works with Windows 8 phone. I'll be checking out the Nikon's now, and open up to others. Been using Canon for a long time, maybe time to just keep an open mind about other products.Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:56:51 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/41097#M657Path11_Media2013-09-23T20:56:51ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/42027#M683

<P>So basically, I can get more remote function from a $300.00 GoPro than I can for a $2,000.00 Canon? Well, that is a deal breaker for me, I'll just have to look at other brands and options. I was considering adding the 70D to my pair of XF105's. I can't find the app in the Windows store at all for my laptop to even look at and it won't work with video anyway&nbsp;so, no Canon DSLR for me.

I just created an account to register my desire for a windows phone 8 app. I just ordered a 6D and am shocked there isn't a remote app for my phone.

<P>My reply is simple, as a business person I simply won't commit a single dollar to purchasing additional cameras or equipment that do not work within a system. Canon says it will work with a PC but not a windows phone, which is part of the system that my small company uses so, I need to look elsewhere for adding new cameras to my tool list. I'm sure there are many companies and creative people that feel the same. I find it amazing that a small company like GoPro can write the apps to run their cameras across multiple platforms to appeal to the largest prospective customer base yet a company with the resources of Canon chooses not to. GoPro is exercising good business practice, Canon maybe not so much.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. In the past I would just automatically reach for Canon when new equipment was needed without looking elsewhere at other products that may have been a better option, after all, technology and competition is always changing. The same thing happened for me with Apple, I got tired of their attitude of "you'll buy what we tell you you can buy, at the exorbitant price we tell you will pay, and you'll like it" Went back to PCs and never been happier (or saved as much money). Now I'll just make my decisions by comparing different brands instead of just products within a single manufacturer and so far I'm pretty impressed with what I'm seeing out there.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks Canon, for helping me make the best business decisions for my company (you too Apple). Being a "fan boy" of any company is seldom the best business decision.&nbsp;</P>Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:02:23 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/45873#M727Path11_Media2013-10-25T13:02:23ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/46977#M734

Dear Canon-Team!<BR /><BR />I'm planning to buy the new 70D, but without an app for WP8 or Windows 8.1 it doesn't make sense to me, since I would buy it because of the WIFI feature (as an major argument).<BR /><BR />Please re-think your decision of not developing such an app.<BR /><BR />Thanks!Sun, 24 Nov 2013 10:16:42 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/50661#M781Luftmolch2013-11-24T10:16:42ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/52067#M803
<P>"Thank you all for your interest in Canon’s Mobile Apps! We’re constantly looking to improve and update our software, however at this time we’re not planning on developing a Windows Phone 8 App."</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>To be blunt, why not?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Windows Phone take up in Europe has doubled in the last year, the problem is that Canon doesn't care. Its biggest three markets are the US, Europe and Japan. Two years ago Canon itself said that by 2015 it expects China to take over from Japan as Canon's third biggest market. The current Windows Phone share in China is basically non existant (Android accounts for around 2/3) and not much of a better story in the US, where Apple is the king.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So surely (not shirley Ivan<img id="smileywink" class="emoticon emoticon-smileywink" src="https://community.usa.canon.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.png" alt="Smiley Wink" title="Smiley Wink" />) Canon didn't decide to not make a WP app because it specifically wants to alienate it's European customers and instead likes it's soon to be Chinese customers more?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Nokia has 85% of the Windows Phone market, compared to Samsung which holds 63% of the Android market (we'll ignore the market share of iOS that Apple holds for hopefully obvious reasons!). One can therefore make a general assumption that the Android hardware market is much more fragmented than the Windows Phone market i.e. Android is spread across more manufacturer and more models of phones. This makes Windows Phone an easier platform for Canon to support, giving each individual user of a future EOS Remote WP app a better experience. It also means less development expenditure for Canon on W8 over Android app support.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So, surely Canon didn't decide to not make a WP app because it would be too much work or cost too much?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I have owned a 6D for 3 months now and previously used it with my Galaxy S2. I work in a company with just over 80 employees and almost everyone has a Windows phone for work (most are based in the German office). I currently have free range to decide which phone I will upgrade to and even though a Nokia 925/1020 make by far the most sense from a work point of view, they also make the most sense from a personal point of view.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>However, Canon are forcing me to make a rediculous decision. If I go Nokia, I can't use the Canon Remote features of the 6D. If I stay with Android (something that will make my work mobility much less productve than with WP) I can keep the EOS Remote support and not waste £200 or whatever worth of the 6D's key features. As rediculous as it sounds, I have even thought about getting a Nokia WP as a main phone and keeping my Galaxy S2 in my camera bag so I can still use it with the 6D.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Lots of people say that Windows Phone itself it its own worst enemy, most of the people I know say that there are no apps available for WP and that's why they stick with Android or Apple. A lot of this is incorrect perception, WP has all the apps I need for both work and personal use. But by companies like Canon not providing support for WP, they are forcing the uptake of WP to be reduced,damaging their own sales and image as well as seriously alienating myself and many other Canon customers - both current and potential.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If Canon continues to refuse to release a WP app in order to support their customers and their products, as customers I believe we are entitled to ask why we are not deemed important enough.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So I will add my request to all the other thread participants; please Canon rprovide support for Windows Phone 8 EOS Remote. Even if Canon doesn't agree with our views, I would like them to find a single good reason why they won't provide WP support.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P>Tue, 03 Dec 2013 01:22:47 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/52067#M803red-five2013-12-03T01:22:47ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/52139#M805
<P>The most recent figures from this year i.e. 2012-2013 (the articles you linked to are from 2011 and 2012) suggest that WP isn't doing too well in China.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Maybe my sources are wrong and the projections detailed in your links are correct - in fact I hope the latter is the case; because this means Canon surely has more impotus to support WP if it is gaining strength in China....plus all other app developers:-)</P>Tue, 03 Dec 2013 18:40:13 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/52139#M805red-five2013-12-03T18:40:13ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/55355#M828

<P>I have been a Canon enthusiast for years. Back when I shot with film, I used an AV-1 and an AE-1 Program. I used the G series for compact, carry-around cameras and several different of their dSLRs.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Just 3 or 4 weeks ago, when I decided it was time to update the dSLR that I was using, I didn't even look at any of the other brands because all of my lenses are Canon. I decided to go with the 6D, it seemed to be the best bang-for-the-buck and had several cool features that I was looking forward to trying.

<P>The sad thing is they're not even continuing development on the apps at all. You'd think the iPad would be a natural, but not that. Of course my GoPro has windows phone capability - and did before I even got my windows phone a year ago!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I wonder why come out with WiFi other than to have a feather in their cap. You can bet that the next generation of DSLR's from Nikon will have not only WiFi, but support for every phone and every tablet there is. And good software to boot.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I could easily have made the switch to Nikon when I went full frame with the 6D, and Sigma makes fantastic lenses now too. Since WiFi is a useless feature what difference would it make if I'd have gotten a D610?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Best part is they seem to be blocking third party folks from developing apps for the windows phone too.

<P>I spoke to a UK Canon representative at a consumer show about this again a couple of weeks ago.

<P>&nbsp;<EM>&nbsp; "As far as I know it is not planned, because Windows Phone users are switching to Android and iOS"</EM></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So if Canon isn't lying to themselves, they're just lying to their reps.

I've never been as happy with a phone - and I've had them all.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Canon can't be bothered obviously, and as I stated on my last post - they're going to get eaten by Sony and Nikon because they're just sitting around resting on laurels they don't have. They introduce WiFi, bring out a half-baked app for Android/iOS phones (and it is half-baked, make no mistake it's barely functional)&nbsp;and leave it there. Nothing for tablets (another no-brainer) and nothing for Windows Phone (a growing segment with younger people).</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So, instead of getting growth from people jumping on the bandwagon with a Camera system that has fantastic working WiFi apps with all systems, they're going to sit and wait for Sony to beat them to the punch. Sony and Nikon will have WiFi in their next generation cameras that works with all tablets and phones - a great app with a gorgeous and intuitive interface.Canon will suddenly get all serious&nbsp;and&nbsp; try to play catch-up. But, it will be too late. They can't even fix the one they've got for iOS and Android, so how are they going to even "port" a windows EOS utility?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I expect as much from the geniuses coming out of most business schools these days.

<P>Windows Phone should matter to Canon for primarily 2 reasons:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1. Windows Phone is on a growth trajectory (as opposed to Blackberry), and has market share in excess of 10% in many european countries (remember Canon is a global company, not just US); in fact, it outsells iPhone in 26+ markets. Over time, this will grow in the US too as the profile of a Windows Phone user is far more closer to that of an iPhone user than an Android user.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2. More importantly, and over and above the pure smartphone debate, Canon could make a unified app which covers both Windows Phone 8 *and* Windows 8 - this paints a completely different picture in terms of market penetration, where likely the vast majority of canon users are on or will migrate to Windows 8 (or its successors).</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The debate is not about which OS is "bigger," but rather whether Canon is fully serving the needs of its customers across the spectrum of their use cases. It is not.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Finally, the investment for an app of this nature is miniscule - around Eur 30k - 50k&nbsp;- from personal experience having apps created for Windows Phone ecosystem. It is not even a blip in Canon's marketing budget. Frankly, Canon is probably hesitant to do&nbsp;this not becuase of the app but rather becuase of the logisical issues relating to updating all the manuals and CDs shipped with product to refer to a Windows app. They will need to do it in the end anyway, as Windows cannot be ignored.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Mark.</P>Tue, 26 Aug 2014 11:42:34 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/111863#M1422mstrathmore2014-08-26T11:42:34ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/111869#M1425
<P>PS. RobertTheFat, whilst I respect your views, I find them ironic on a message thread that has 11 pages constituting over 100 messages and 17500 views all requesting the same thing.

<P>Developers might want to consider that Windows 9 is well under way that puts tablet, phone, laptop/PC all on the same operating system.

<P>I am aware that Windows Phone userbase does not have nearly as many users&nbsp;as iOS and Android.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>But if you add up Windows Phone, Windows 8/RT/9/etc tablets and computers, and heck even XBOX One you have a userbase that surpasses that of iOS and Android.&nbsp; As someone mentioned earlier, Microsoft's most recent dev tools make it very easy to port code between all of the platforms mentioned above.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>But I also agree that the iOS and Android ports need more attention.&nbsp; I think this is an area Canon desperately needs to&nbsp;spend money in, as other companies like Sony are starting to surpass Canon in consumer&nbsp;device integration&nbsp;-&nbsp;and the more difficult and clunky Canon makes sharing to your phone, the more people will simply use their phone as a camera and put down the DSLR.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Phones will not replace DSLRs, but Canon would likely retain more marketshare if their cameras "played nice" with all of the phone/tablet ecosystems out there and made the possibility of instant sharing a reality for everyone.&nbsp; While pros would likely not use social network sharing as they would want to post process first, they would use WiFi tethering for instant client preview during a portrait session for instance.</P>Tue, 26 Aug 2014 15:25:33 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/111943#M1427Ruined2014-08-26T15:25:33ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/114561#M1476
<P>So if Canon can't, why not delegating the development to the community. For example; I have an open source license to write Windows phone 8 apps; I want desperatly some remote control on my phone, and I have time and knowledge to make one.&nbsp;</P><P>So, would Canon release the API so we can move on ?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>kr,</P><P>Wouter</P>Sun, 14 Sep 2014 19:29:10 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/114561#M1476antiwo2014-09-14T19:29:10ZRe: EOS Remote for Windows Phone 8https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/115369#M1481
<P>I currently do not own a license, but I could help with the development. It is just so annoying that there is an app for other platforms, but not for WP...</P>Sat, 20 Sep 2014 12:32:11 GMThttps://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/EOS-Remote-for-Windows-Phone-8/m-p/115369#M1481juventietis2014-09-20T12:32:11Z
